I set out to make a cheap set of Hi-Lift mounts for my Stealth roof rack and I came up with two different versions, that can be mounted three different ways.
This method of mounting is best suited for a Ranger style rack, as the jack will stand up more then on a Stealth:
Same brackets mounted on the outside of a Steath (loosely mounted just to take the picture):
Flat style brackets:
Build list for a set of each of the mount styles.
Tube mount:
Each: Total:
2@ 3/8 wing nut $1.18ea. =$2.36
4@ 3/8 x 1 ½ fender washer $ .32ea. =$1.28
4@ 3/8 x 2 ¼ x 1/8 rubber washer $1.22ea. =$4.88
2@ 3/8-16 x 3 threaded rod $.68ea. =$1.36
2@ 3/8 hex locking nuts $.18ea. =$.36
2@ 3/8 lock washers $.20ea. =$.40
2@ 3/4 split ring hanger $1.48ea. =$2.96
1@ bag of 10-24 hex nuts $1.18 =$1.18
1@ roll of rubber splicing tape $2.39 =$2.39
2@ 3/8 ID air hose 3/4 long $.52ft. =$.52
Total $17.69 for two brackets
Optional:
1@ bed liner spray $8.99
2@ 3/8-16 threaded knob $N/A
Floor mount:
Each: Total:
2@ 3/8 wing nut $1.18ea. =$2.36
8@ 3/8 x 1 ½ fender washer $ .32ea. =$2.56
4@ 3/8 x 2 ¼ x 1/8 rubber washer $1.22ea. =$4.88
2@ 3/8-16 x 3 threaded rod $.68ea. =$1.36
1@ bag (2@) 3/8-16 x 1 1/8 coupling nuts $1.20 =$1.20
2@ 3/8 lock washers $.20ea. =$.40
2@ 3/3-16 x 1 hex bolt $.12 =$.12
2@ 3/8 ID air hose 3/4 long $.52ft. =$.52
Optional:
1@ bed liner spray $8.99
2@ 3/8-16 threaded knob $N/A
Total $13.40 for two brackets
Second method for the flat mount, using one 4 inch bolt in place of the 3/8-16 x 3/4 bolt and the 3/8-16 x 3 inch threaded rod:
How to assemble:
Thread the rod into the pipe clamp:
Install the lock nut down to the depth required (use of a double nut is required to hold the rod tight while installing):
Next install the washers:
Cut two 3/4 inch pieces of hose and sand two flat spots on them:
Install the hose, washers and either a wing nut or a knob:
Cut fiction tape and install as a gasket inside the clamp ends:
Bed line or paint if desired:
Mount on top pole for inside mount or vertical for outside mount:
Loosely mounted so I could take a picture:
Floor mount:
